In the solution, the angle θ used in EAcos(θ) is 60 degrees, but since 'the plane of the sheet is at an angle of 60 degrees to the field', shouldn't the angle θ in EAcos(θ) be 30degrees, since the angle of the electric field to the normal of the plane is 30degrees?

An infinite line charge has constant charge-per-unit-length λ. Surrounding the line charge is a cylindrical shell of radius R, and carrying a constant charge-per-unit area σ. Given λ, what must σ be in order to get 0 electric field for all points outside the cylindrical shell? For that σ, what is the electrical field in between the line of charge and shell?
A charge q is placed in the cavity of a conductor as shown below. Will a charge outside the conductor experience an electric field due to the presence of q? The conductor in the preceding figure has an excess charge of -5.0 uC. If a 2.0 uC point charge is placed in the cavity, what is the net charge on the surface of the cavity and on the outer surface of the conductor?
The field due to two parallel plates, the left with a negative surface charge density of −6.0 C/m2 whilethe sheet on the right has a positive surface charge density of +9.0 C/m2is given below. Suppose the plates were spaced 0.0020 m apart. We found that, using Gauss’s law that, independent of this distance, • In I the net field points to the left and has magnitude |Enet| = 1.69 × 1011 N/C.• In region II, between the plates, the field has magnitude 8.47×1011 N/C and points to the left• In III it points to the right and has magnitude |Enet| = 1.69 × 1011 N/C.
